    I have the same issue. I have both the default and desktop versions installed. When I open the desktop version it asks if I want to set it as the default. I say yes but it then tells me to go to settings, system, default apps and set it there. but how?

    I selected all that it allows me to set by protocol, but the middle one doesn't have an option for OneNote desktop. 

    When I click my pen top it still opens the non desktop version of the OneNote app.

    I have the 'surface' app installed and that doesn't seem to apply the correct setting either....

    also when viewing via program associations you cannot de-select the URL:onenote-cmd selection (selecting desktop version as well makes no difference)

    So how do you set OneNote (desktop) to be the default OneNote app on windows 10? Especially how do you make it open when you click the pen top or select note from the right hand swipe?

    although Cortana does appear to play nice and open the desktop version when asked to 'launch onenote 2013'

    Hello,

    Do you have multiple version of OneNote or OneNote app installed on the computer along with the desktop version?

    You may upload the screen shot of the same to understand the issue better.
